Description

In this episode of Conversations, I dive into why people leave churches and what we can do to keep them. We’ll talk about key factors like the importance of genuine friendships, building community through shared meals, and understanding the critical first year that impacts retention. I’ll share insights based on real analytics, and discuss the six-month decision period, how to address church “leakage,” and why focusing on purpose over tasks is key. If you’re looking to improve your church’s retention and create a culture of connection, this episode is packed with practical, actionable strategies.
